When Resistance and Virulence go hand in hand
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the greatest challenges to global health. Using an innovative high-throughput method, researchers from the Department “Epidemiology and Ecology of Antimicrobial Resistance” led by Prof. Katharina Schaufler at the Helmholtz Institute for One Health (HIOH) have now uncovered a previously hidden link between antibiotic resistance and virulence in Klebsiella pneumoniae. Virulence describes the extent to which a pathogen can cause disease. The findings were published in the international journal Clinical Microbiology and Infection. HIOH is a site of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research.

2nd International Conference on Individualized Infection Medicine
Even after the COVID-19 pandemic, infectious diseases remain among the greatest challenges to global health. At the same time, advances in biomedical research, data-driven methods, and clinical innovation are opening up new opportunities to tailor prevention, diagnosis, and treatment to individual patients. How these approaches can be translated into medical care was the focus of the 2nd International Conference on Individualized Infection Medicine, which took place from March 19 to 21, 2026, at Herrenhausen Palace in Hannover.
